10-Plus Vinyl Albums You'll Always See at Thrift Stores

Christmas Anything

Speaking of Christmas records, most albums dealing with yuletide cheer clog up record bins all year long, but the fun part is that they have some of most peculiar cover art, from Santas being ridden by pin-up girls, to Santas enjoying some liquid holiday cheer. Fun fact: I own most of the George Strait Christmas LPs in Houston.

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass' Whipped Cream & Other Delights

If you don't own Whipped Cream for at least the boss, sexy cover, then something is wrong with you. The often-parodied cover, just a hot chick covered in the titular cream, was also responsible for making a lot of boys into men, or say I have heard. Who knew that an album cover featuring a comely brunette with full breasts would be popular with pubescent boys?

Random '78s

If you are a collector, always be sure to give that dusty and musty stack of '78s a look. You never know what you could find, and they can make for good decorative pieces. Oh, and they smash real good too.
